Note about using references

1. Each post requires references to external sources (sources other than the course materials), and citation within the text of your post (and the group report).
2. If you copy text, you MUST place it in quotations and refer to the source by the reference number (and page number if it is from a printed source).

Example: We argue that "global IT is an important topic for corporations, governments and individuals alike" [1, page. 2].  
In the reference at the end:
(1) Smith, J. 2013. "Organizational issues related to operating globally," Journal of Global Operations, Vol. 5, No. 3, pp. 1-12.

How to use external sources?
1. The easiest one is to do a Google search. When doing Google search, make sure your sources are reliable. For example, wikipedia is a good starting point.
2. You can also search Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) for articles published on the topic.
